From This Light I Hold (2016). This Light I Hold is the fifth studio album by American metalcore band Memphis May Fire. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Memphis May Fire's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A (A E A D F♯ B).

Can I play "That's Just Life" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "That's Just Life" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
